This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the birth, rise, stagnation and swift fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Beginning with the 1848 Revolutions through the 1867 compromise this episode will take a look at the political and social issues the empire had. It covers the reign of Ferdinand, Franz Joseph and Karl I (Charles I) and how the empire launched the First World War which would ultimately be its downfall. The episode finishes by cover the treaties which were signed after the war and carved up the empire into the nations of eastern and central Europe.
Ten Minute History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.
Recommended books:
A Concise History of Austria - Steven Beller. A fantastic book which covers all of Austrian History whilst pointing out the relevant parts of Hungarian history, too.

It's mostly just when you have to run for Parliament in democracies that you settle for boring, descriptive names like "Green", "Liberal", "Labour" or "Christian-Democratic" parties. The democratic developing countries also have boring names like "National Congress" or "Democratic Labour Party". Meanwhile, "Fifth Republic Movement", "Patriotic Front" or "Democratic People's Republic" are baller names.

    My Great-great grandmother was Croatian and she could speak Italian, Ruthenian, and Polish as well. She was from Trieste and I remember her showing me a "Maria-Teresa" coin when I was a boy. Of course she was a Croatian nationalist, but spoke fondly of living in the AHE and lamented the loss of "Her" empire. My grandmother, her daughter, my father's mother, returned immediately after WW2 to reappropriate some family property before the city was given over to Italian authorities, and showed me a photo album of B&W photos of when she was there.

    Because as shown throughout Italy’s history, it can’t fight a war without being carried by their allies. Also, they wanted control of Italy and Italian nationalism was both a threat and a joke to the Habsburgs. At least France was an old, respectable foe even if hated. It was a silly move but it was definitely an insult to the Italians (plus France exchanged it with Italy for dropping Italian claims over Savoy and Nice).

The only reason that they made a semi alliance was because of Germany, and because it was believed that it would help them both, kind of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, mutual beneficence. They didn't have to join the WW1 because the Triple Alliance was a defense pact, and this was an offensive war so they had every right and reason to remain neutral; and also because they had declared war in Serbia, and there was an agreement between the two that if they wanted to change stuff in the Balkans they would have to consult each other; and Austra-Hungary did not consult Italy and so they didn't have to support them anyway.

My great grandfather Paul Kipa lived in Poland and migrated from Poland to the United States during World War I when Poland was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The fact that the empire was split into two is the reason why my great grandfathers migration record just said "Poland, Austria" instead of 'Poland, Austria-Hungary'.

    Ferdinand I gets slated as being an imbecile but in writings of those who knew him at the imperial court he was known to have had a sharp mind and was fond of Bohemia/Czechia. Unfortunately he was epileptic and had a dozen seizures a day, so he wasn't really capable of ruling much of anything. After he abdicated he retired to live in Prague castle and the Czechs still call him Ferdinand the Good. Karl I was pretty much screwed, he tried to negotiate a secret peace with France in 1917 to try and preserve the empire and offering France anything it wanted. All it did was make France realize that if Austria-Hungary was that desperate they were on the ropes and wouldn't last much longer anyway. And they were right. Karl I took the throne far too late to affect any real changes, which is a shame since he'd actually served in the army during the war and knew how awful things were. he was also willing to grant the slavic peoples equal rights to the Austrians and Hungarians but by then that wasn't enough, they wanted out

    I really enjoyed the video, but I would like to add a few corrections: - In the Hungarian Revolution, Hungarian independence was only declared on 14. April 1849, not in 1848. - The 1868 Hungarian nationality law was considered very liberal at the time it was created. However, it became outdated by the end of the 19th century. - Budapest was unified in 1873, not in 1878. - There are considerable Hungarian minorities also in modern day Slovakia, Ukraine, Serbia and Slovenia, not only in Transylvania. Apart from that, I think this video is a good summary.

    @@kostam.1113 The country of Austria was even forced by the allies. The Austrians themselves wanted the new state to be named Noric Republic to sound more like a new country (which it actually was), but the allies needed an Austria in order the get reparations and territory from it, so they forced the name on the German speaking part of old Austria. The Austrians then wanted to name their country German-Austria to show that they are just the German speaking part of old austria, because there was also the Czechoslovak-Austria, etc. The allies forbid it again because they wanted only one Austria.

Preferably with a East Prussian accent for extra oomph if you had serious career ambitions.
